Making an Element Bag Tutorial (PSP)

I belong to a couple of digital scrapbooking learning groups on Yahoo (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Digital_Scrapbook_Designers/?yguid=238386841, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/digitalscrappingclass/?yguid=238386841, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LearnToScrap/?yguid=238386841, and http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/ScrapKitChallenge/?yguid=238386841). On one of the groups, someone asked for a tutorial on creating element bags. I couldn't find a tutorial, so I decided to write one...
